For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all
men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions,and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in thispresent age... -- Titus 2:11-12



Dear Lord,

my prayer today is that you will control my will to be a godly and wise woman for you. with that uprightness and self-control, i will be firm in your foundation of love no matter how pervasive or alluring the thrills of the culture may be. i ask for you to galvanise my commitment to you from today and in my moments of reticent pensiveness, i plea for holy thoughts of you , and you alone.

in jesus's precious name,amen.
